In a taste of things to come (probably) with Cruz leading some polls in Iowa, Graham has really gone after Cruz and Paul tonight, calling both out by name three times so far:
“Now everybody’s on board except Sen. Paul. Sen. Paul and Sen. Cruz are are isolationists. They both want to restrict the ability of the NSA to do the following. Find out if somebody overseas is calling into America.”
“We need to fight the war over there. To the people in my party to believe you can withdraw from the battlefield like Sen. Cruz and Paul and we would be safe, you don’t understand this war.”
“To my good friend Ted Cruz, please ask him the following question. You say you would keep Assad in power I will tell you that is the worst possible thing that could come out of an American leader’s mouth. It would be disastrous. His favorite movie is apparently ‘Princess Bride.’ Ted, getting in bed with Iran and Russia to save Assad is inconceivable.”
